I have 2 Hyper X 3K Kingston 120GB SSDs. I have one in my desktop and one in laptop.
The boot time in my laptop is very fast with windows 8.1 ( Quick video demo www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pEtIvgHDhg)
However using the same SSD in my desktop which I just upgraded to a 4770k a few days ago boots much slower, around 30s to boot into windows. It is in AHCI mode and on an Intel SATA 6Gb/s port. My motherboard is an Asus Z87-Plus.
The SSD seems to run fine in benchmarks on my desktop despite the slow boot time.
AS SSD:
ATTO:
I tried disconnected my other hard drives and all USB ports but nothing changed. I also tried loading default BIOS settings, also to no change.
I am using the Intel rapid storage driver, and I have made sure TRIM is enabled
Is this normal? Why does my laptop boot much faster with the same drive?
